I was born in the mid 70s and did this from about 1991. :downswords:

if you didn't plug your computer into your TV, "load "*", 8, 1", or later dream about the very out of reach SVGA card and compatible monitor, or post semi-anonymously to local dial-in BBS sites that had regular in-person meet-ups.

My dad installed Windows NT 4.0 on the only computer in the house and told me it wouldn't let me do anything I wasn't supposed to. I went through every folder on C: and ran every executable it would let me, read every text file, and tried to figure out what it all did. Show me a 22 year old that's done that- I TA'd a 400-level undergraduate class a couple years ago and half the students didn't know the difference between a network drive, the two in-computer hard drives, a usb drive and an external harddrive. They barely understood what a directory structure was, much less what a well-organized one looks like. Or how to make or rename a folder. Or what it means and what to do when windows says a file is in use when you're trying to delete it. No understanding of what a drive letter is or what they mean or where they saved something or if they even did save their work.

I'm almost 40 and when I was 7/8 I used to hang out with 11/12 year old kids that did poo poo like this all the time. And back then there weren't even youtube bragging rights. Some kids just plain don't give a gently caress and seemingly have no fear whatsoever.
